Booting MOS on Powermac G4
« on: March 27, 2011, 10:28:47 AM »
I used to have powermac and I remember that in order to boot from Mac OS install CD, powermac had to be equipped with genuine cd-drive with apple firmware. How does it refer to MorphOS?

This 'feature' affects only  powermac G3/G4 (I think). iBook G3 (white), another example, will not detect hard disk drive unless it has apple firmware in it.
Later models accept all generic PC hd and cd drives.
USB boot? powermac G4 doesn't suport it  AFAIK. Firewire maybe?

Thanks for replies!!!
Looks like it's only B&W G3 issue.
